Part C Annual Family Outcomes Survey
Project Description:
The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) requires state Part C programs to report family outcome data. Specifically, data is gathered from families that indicate the level that early intervention services helped them:
1. know their rights
2. effectively communicate their children's needs
3. help their children develop and learn
The Family Outcomes Survey is the mechanism for gathering and reporting these federally mandated indicators. The Family Outcomes Survey Project is a cooperative effort of the Part C Office of the Aging and Disability Services Division and the Nevada Center for Excellence in Disabilities (NCED). This is the fourth year the survey has been administered through this collaboration. The Family Outcomes Survey also asks families to respond to questions regarding their overall early intervention experiences in order to enrich the data required by OSEP and for program monitoring and improvement.
Survey findings were summarized in a final report, which was provided to Part C for distribution to state stakeholders and OSEP.
